Camp Parent Love

"My son has tried several camps and Camp White Stag is hands down his favorite. The modest size, attentive staff, nature setting, focus on interactive games and free play, is a perfect match for him. We value how the staff embrace his unique qualities and transform each day into an adventure. Camp White Stag has become our summer go to for learning and outdoor fun! — Karyl Leigh R, New Rochelle, NY

We provide healthy snacks at snack time and cool treats each day. We can make changes or adjustments to our snack plans with advance notice.

  • Before camp, speak to your child about making healthy choices while at camp to ensure his or her health and safety.

  • Campers with gluten allergies can bring special snacks and/or dessert items to be kept in the kitchen. Please label them with your camper’s name.
